Security and Privacy of Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

The intelligent industrial Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled industrial sectors to successfully integrate machinery, devices, and sensors with digital systems, networks, and data-driven applications. In fact, the number of use-cases that take advantage of the intelligent industrial IoT and its supporting technological pillars (e.g., low-power sensing and perception, data-driven applications, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and communication networks) has drastically increased in recent years. However, this rapid growth has created a noticeable asymmetry between industry and academia. Thus, it has become apparent that there is a mismatch between what is taught and researched in academic settings versus what it is actually being utilized and required in industry.

This Special Issue's main objective is to bridge this gap and (r)establish the connection and symmetry between academic teachings and industrial needs in the realm of intelligent industrial IoT by showcasing theory, innovative applications/use-cases, and prospective developments from both an academic and industrial perspective. We invite innovative and original research contributions to cover all aspects of the development and application of the following and related topics, including but not limited to:

• Training methods for intelligent IoT;
• Artificial intelligence in IoT;
• IoT for intelligent acoustic monitoring;
• Computing on the edge;
• On-device signal processing;
• Cybersecure IoT domains;
• IoT for naturalized environments (nature-based solutions);
• Industrial challenges for the IoT;
• Quantum networks for IoT domains;
• Data-driven applications for IoT;
• Intelligent industrial IoT for health;
• Web of Things and intelligent industrial Internet of Things.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
